A Prayer for Deliverance

1. Personally affirm your faith in Christ:
   "Lord Jesus Christ, I believe you are the Son of God and the only way to God - that you died on the cross for my sins and rose again so that I might be forgiven and receive eternal life."

2. Humble yourself:
   "I renounce any pride and religious self-righteousness and any dignity that does not come from you. I have no claim on your mercy except that you died in my place."

3. Confess to any known sin:
   "I confess all my sins before You and hold nothing back. Especially I confess .... "

4. Repent of all sins:
   "I repent of all my sins. I turn away from them and I turn to you, Lord, for mercy and forgiveness."

5. Forgive all other people:
   "By a decision of my will, I freely forgive all those who ever harmed me or wronged me. I lay down all bitterness, all resentment and all hatred. Specifically, I forgive ..."

6. Break with the occult and all false religion:
   "I sever all contact I have ever had with the occult or with all false religion - particularly ...
   "I commit myself to get rid of all objects associated with the occult or false religion."

7. Prepare to be released from every curse over your life:
   "Lord Jesus, I thank you that on the cross you were made a curse, that I might be redeemed from every curse and inherit God's blessing. On that basis I ask you to release me and set me free to receive the deliverance I need."

8. Take your stand with God:
   "I take my stand with you, Lord, against all Satan's demons. I submit to you, Lord, and I resist the devil. Amen!"

9. Expel:
   "Now I speak to any demons that have control over me. [Speak directly to them.] I command you to go from me now. In the name of Jesus, I expel you!"
